South Seas

Tonite I went to Galveston Isle and visited the Balinese South Seas Showroom (188, 8, 29) and played the piano.


I made a friend who joined in a duet.

This was a very nice place....

EduIsland

Tonight I took a look around EduIsland. I found an interesting display of the AECT: Association for Educational Communications and Technology.

Their current publications were shown with links to the web on each.

On their website I found a discussion of technology teachers vs. traditional teaching:

I will collaborate with my peers from around the world – you will collaborate with peers in your classroom.
I will take my learning as far as I want – you must wait for the rest of the class.
The cost of a laptop per year? - $250
The cost of teacher and student training? – Expensive
The cost of well educated US citizens and workforce? - Priceless
